Basically a command that tells you the time a player has been afk.

Why is this helpful?
With the auto afk time being 10 min (might be lowered to 5), you do know a person was afk for sometime, but you can't tell how much, time was the player afk, and that info might help.
This command could help determine whether a player is afking at farms, as a simple 10-12 minute could be a lack of notice, and an hour is bad.
With the afk changin to 5 min, it could help you determine whether you should try wait for the player or call to him, or you should give up, e.g a player afking 6 min could very well be back the next minute, while a player afking 2 hours, is not likely to come back at any expected time.

Why is it bad?

can cause a few tick?
might take some time to program?
not on high priority?

Yes.
What.
No.
Yes.

As for the Farm argument, this is only relevant to staff, so no need for normal players to need something like that.
The 'Might be back' argument: Meh.
There's already /afklist to see who's AFK and for what reason. You can use @Mention to 'Pling!' them, which might wake them up.

forgot to say it was helpful for staff in the spawner thing, and afklist shows you who afk and for what reason, but this command shows how much time you've been idle, even if you are not in afk status, for example a person logs in and sees his friend that is not [afk], and thus he tries to talk to him, happens to me a lot, but let's say he didn't get reply, so he goes and do /afktime examplafk and sees that examplafk was idle for 8 minutes, and he can assume he went afk.

this is not essential feature, it's a small feature, which gives more details on how much time was a person afk.

when i think about it, it's also possible to add this info for the /afklist, perhaps as a tooltip when you hover the player's name in /afklist, saying "gone for: x hours, y min" or something. it's quite functual as much as /playtime, it's a thing people might wanne check, while they wait in anticipation for their friends, just like asking when the player last logged(but less needed)
